DuraBUILDmaterials is a network of research teams at Ghent University, that unite expertise on durable cementitious and mineral building materials. The development of materials with high durability characteristics is of high economic importance for the built environment and infrastructure. In recent years new developments appeared as a result of advanced research on the microstructure of building materials, physico-chemical modelling of deterioration phenomena, combination of different types of constituent materials and admixtures for concrete mix design, advanced tools for life-cycle analysis, optimization of fibre reinforcement for cementitious materials, etc.

The aim of DuraBUILDmaterials is to validate recent original research results and to facilitate knowledge transfer activities and research collaboration with other research institutes and industrial companies.
